    Long startup time...

    Go into bios and disable everything you don't need/ make sure everything is correct. My external HD slows my boot time a bit. I would check out your main HD, could be failing. My computer starts loading windows in less than 2 seconds after turn on, all the POST and startup crap is a blur. I...

    How to 'Bomb' a PC?

    I'm not sure if I'm correct but when you format a HD it's different than formatting a flash device. I was under the impression that you could not recover data from flash drives because they use a completeley different kind of storage(digital) than a magnetic based HD(which is physical even...

    long delay between logon screen and desktop...

    I am defragging my HD now, I was VERY fragmented way more than I ever expected or have ever seen for that matter. I never thought to check that because this is a new HD and A new install, less than 2 months old. Hope this turns out to be the issue, it's very strange everything else seems to be...

    long delay between logon screen and desktop...

    After I sign into windows I have a 25-35 second delay until I get to the desktop. The computer seems to just sit there not reading from the HD very much during that time. It never used to do this it always was almost instantaneous. Any idea what is causing this? I have tried to get everything...

    Mac vs PC

    It's not uneducated at all, I don't hate MACS, just hate the uneducated mass following they have by people who think pc's suck. I have used both, I have a pc at home and I use a MAC in school in my photoshop class. It works great for that. I am not saying I haven't had viruses before, I have...

    Mac vs PC

    I have used pc's forever and I can't remember the last time a virus ever screwed up my system, I don't think one ever has. If apple just told the truth no one would buy their product. They are a ripoff, and have just as many problems as a pc. Plus they don't play games. The whole company gets...
